Did the Packers not decline last year from the year before and need yet another gag by the Vikings to win the division?
Phil, Phil, Phil... It seems you are incorrect again.
In 2003, the Queens led the division up until Week 16 when they lost to the Cardinals, giving the Packers the chance they needed to finish with a 10-6 record the NFC North title.
In 2004, the Packers got off to a 1-4 start, which resulted in much of the same BS about their season being done. They ended up finishing with a 10-6 record and the NFC North (again). Meanwhile, the Queens fell into a midseason tailspin and finished 8-8 and barely squeaked into the playoffs on an undeserved wildcard berth.
It was the Queens that declined from the previous season, not the Packers. Next time, I suggest you research the facts before parroting back the tripe you read in the mass media.

Every major sports publication in the country are predicting a fall and even a wild card spot is highly unlikely yet you cling to the past as if that will some how make this years team better.
As I said before, research the facts before parroting back the tripe you read in the mass media. Sports publications have been predicting the Pack's demise for the last three seasons, however they are still the reigning NFC North champions until someone is able to take it away from them.
Finally, as for "cling[ing] to the past as if that will some how make this years team better"... What were you saying about da Bears' chances this season??? :lol:
GO PACK!
